Wow looking very nice! I like this shot

Liaoning was in for a quick on there!

Right when it comes out I hope we see some serious and I mean serious air operations

Sometimes it's amazing how large this ship actually is

Yes indeed! At 60% of a Ford-Class carrier, the Liaoning is pretty damn big.

The non-skid coating looks to have a different texture. So completely different material?

The Brat's prognostication here is that the Vik will draw the Liaoning back out from under cover with at least 6-8 J-15s pulling air ops and our first two ship and possibly even four ships being launched this year, possibly early next, after the Chinese New Year. There will be an emphasis on laying down steel for one or both indigenous carriers as well. This is a regional ball game, call it the Far East Leaugue, if you're a "Westerner", LOL ...... look for it!

Maybe a new formula, stolen from the USN?

C'mon now..Non-skid is a readily available product. There's no secret formula. Jeez..

Research done by Chinese grad students somewhere in a lab perhaps?
